...some new plays for a short time and then lined up against the second eleven for practice. White was back at right guard on the first eleven and Catlin was with the second. The play at first was slow, but towards the end of the practice it had more snap...

In the second half the Harvard eleven seemed to go all pieces. They seemed to have lost all snap, and played a listless game, the Princeton men breaking through the opposing line at will...
